Are you an area creative (visual, performing, writing, media, fine craft) who is interested in earning income by working within our local schools and festivals as an artist in residency? The Northwest Minnesota Arts Council is pleased to announce an upcoming series of 7 teaching artist training sessions that you can participate in. You will also have the chance to connect with other artists in our region. You must apply and be accepted into the cohort to attend these trainings.
The series will include 5 sessions online via Zoom and 2 sessions in person and will be held the following dates:
- Saturday, March 28 9 AM to Noon in person in Warren
- Tuesday, March 31 6:30 - 8:30 PM via ZOOM
- Thursday, April 2 6:30 - 8:30 PM via ZOOM

What is the result? In addition to honing your teaching and professional skills, participants will join the Teaching Artist Roster list on the NWMAC website where schools and festivals go to select who they would like to sponsor with grant funds. You will also have tangible and useful items to help you be a teaching artist, like creating lesson plans, marketing materials, and more. The focus of this training will be to create all content for your online listing by the end of the training.
Is there a cost to participate? This training is free! This is an invaluable opportunity to receive 16 hours of professional training at no cost and is valued at $1,000.
